Apologetics 301 Guidelines

If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you


This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

      You made the argument which would legitimise them.

        Where? And why are you so interested in paedophilia anyway?

          A current conspiracy theory making its rounds in the US has it that Satan-worshipping pedophile pizza cannibals in the deep state are planning to delegitimize the coming election. Click the first link in the piglet's sig to learn more. Alternatively, there's the dog-eared evangelical equivocation between gays are pedophiles, but I'm inclined to credit the piglet with more novelty than that.

            Post #44, sweetie. And I'm not in the least bit interested in paedophilia - only in pointing out the logical consequences of bad arguments.

                Oh I do like your reference to "the piglet". It reminds me of Nathan Lane [Albert] in The Birdcage.

                Thank you for the information, yes I did know about the cuckoos who are still calling so late in the year and I now understand the interest in that particular subject. However, that the topic resonated with so many does raise some interesting questions, does it not?

                  Then why mention it?

                  What "bad argument"? I made an observation in reply to KingsGambit on the likelihood of homophobic pastors [some of whom are later discovered to be homosexual/bisexual] projecting their own self loathing on to homosexuals who openly embrace and enjoy their sexuality.

                          One could be a real pedant and note that Bill's final sentence requires a qualifying clause. While ending a sentence with an adjective is perfectly acceptable in English, the sentence "Maybe HA can teach you to write better?" leaves that adjective unqualified. We are left to ask "better than what or whom"?

                              The "than you" is 'understood'.
